Abstract
The goal of `Chinese style democracy`, China`s state identity in political aspect, is to realize `socialist democracy`. `Socialist democracy` means the democracy in socialist system, social power have kept asking for the realization of `socialist democracy` since the PRC`s establishment. Through the voice, they had clamoured for the more fast democratization with open mind about Western democracy. On the other hand, the CCP accepted but transformed `socialist democracy` into `socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics`, which was extended to the concept of `Chinese style democracy` at last. This transformation and extension of concept also approaches to the distortion. But it is clear that `Chinese style democracy` has consolidated its position as political state identity on the grounds of the worldwide crisis of democracy, the increased confidence of CCP from rise of China and the political conservative shift since Xi Jinping regime.
